I think the challenges and opportunities facing the sport in our province are complex and also are diverse in that they mean different things to different stakeholders and regions.
Our club has primarily been a race organizer and to that end would love more support from CBC to continue to put on excellent races to be enjoyed by as many as possible.
We also understand the need for trail advocacy, trail maintenance, grassroots involvement, building youth and having some kind of connection to high performance racing.
Too often the conversation seems to be framed as one dimensional, whether that be around insurance or trail building. IMHO this is doing a diservice to the vast needs of our large and diverse province.
In times of change like this it is also too easy to let emotions get the better of rational thought. Let's all just relax a bit and go for a ride and be measured in our discussions and responses. Ultimately this will benefit us in the long run
